How an EU PFAS Ban Will Affect Your PCBs New European PFAS regulations could affect PTFE-based materials used in PCBs, specifically for microwave electronics. Read Article Photonics, the Next Generation Communication Processors Is there a need for a photonic iPhones and smartphones? We have a very interesting topic today with our guest Daniel Pérez López, the CTO and Co-Founder of iPRONICS, programmable photonics. Read Article Concept Phase – Cooling and Airflow Part 1 In this installment of the open-source laptop project, we will take a closer look at the cooling system. First, we will focus on the airflow inside the device and find out what we need to consider to meet the requirements defined in the previous article. {"preview_thumbnail":"/sites/default/files/styles/video_embed_wysiwyg_preview/public/video_thumbnails/O0xn2-kPL4o.jpg?itok=SkZpEUXp","video_url":"https://youtu.be/O0xn2-kPL4o","settings":{ Read Article Using ChatGPT for Altium Scripting In this article Ari Mahpour talks about how to best utilize ChatGPT for Altium Scripting in the DelphiScript language. Read Article Avoid GIGO in Your PCB Simulation Tools GIGO in your PCB simulations happens when the inputs do not accurately reflect the reality in your PCBA. Read Article RoHS 3, REACH, and PFAS in Electronics The electronics industry is no stranger to compliance with environmental restrictions and regulations. These regulations are necessary for the health of end users, and it’s the responsibility of designers, component manufacturers, and materials manufacturers to ensure their products can comply with environmental regulations. Today, the major environmental challenge which companies are starting to address is the persistence of PFAS in many Read Article IPC Standards for Electronics Sustainability Sustainability in electronics encompasses environmental, social, and corporate governance aspects, and IPC aims to make it easier for companies by providing standards, education, and advocacy to navigate these complex issues. Read Article Interfacing DDR Memory with AMD/Xilinx FPGAs Learn how to interface DDR memory with AMD/Xilinx FPGAs. Read Article How to Filter Noisy Power Rails Although a power supply might look like it produces clean power on an oscilloscope, power supply operation in a real system can create noise or be susceptible to noise. Power rails often need to serve power to multiple devices in a system at the same voltage, but with clean power in different portions of the system. When that is the case, noise on the main rail may need to be cleaned up before being provided to different portions of your system Read Article Firing Your Hiring Habits by John Mitchell, President and CEO of IPC This is a very insightful conversation! We tackled acquisition, retaining and upskilling talents in your team. PCB designers, aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders in any company will surely benefit from this discussion. Read Article How to Read a PCB Impedance Table PCB impedance tables show values of trace impedance on specific layers, but without the designer choosing materials or a stackup. Read Article What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? When we talk about packaging, substrate-like PCBs, and fine-line PCBs, we are collectively referencing an area where PCB fabrication processing is pushing to the limit. This area is ultra-HDI, where the typical features in a PCB are scaled down to very small values. These more advanced capabilities enable traditional design practices with larger BGAs, but instead scaled into very fine pitches (0.3 mm) requiring tight spacing and linewidth. These Read Article Common Flex Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them The ability to bend, flex and fold are one of the primary benefits of flexible circuit materials and while there are several examples of flexible circuit designs that withstand hundreds of thousands of even millions of flexes, the reality is that designs that are dynamically flexing often have had the design updated many times before reaching optimal performance. The good news for designers new to flexible circuit designs is that most flexible Read Article Understanding Power Supply Current Handling Issues: Causes and Solutions Troubleshooting power supply current handling issues is crucial to achieving optimal performance of your electronic devices. In this video, we will explore the common reasons why a power supply fails to handle the defined output current and provide practical solutions to solving these issues. Whether you are designing a power supply or repairing an existing one, understanding the structure of the power supply is key to quickly solving these Read Article Types of PTFE Materials for RF PCB Design PTFE (Teflon) PCB materials are sometimes seen as the magic bullet for your RF PCB stackups. Make sure you choose the right type of PTFE-based material for your design. Read Article PCB and Package Design for 224G PAM-4 Channels The next interface and packaging milestone is here with 224G PAM-4. Here is how these channels can be designed to provide broadband signal integrity.
